I’m delighted to have “2022.06,” “2023.02,” “2023.03,” “2023.04,” and “2023.05–06”—five very new sonnets—out in the second issue of D.O.R (Deadly Orgone Radiation), the journal publication of Lachlan J. McDougall‘s press, LJMcD Communications.

Spring Semester 2023: Syllabus
Because I am the 2022–25 Cora A. Babcock Chair in English, I have a course release each spring for the next three years. As such, I’ll only be teaching one class this semester, but I’m super excited about it: ENGL 412 Advanced Poetry Workshop.
MLA 2023: Twenty-First-Century Forms
For this year’s Modern Language Association Convention, to be held January 5–8, 2023 in San Francisco, California, I organized and will be speaking on a roundtable on Twenty-First-Century Forms, along with Daniel Burns, Zoe Bursztajn-Illingworth, Kathryn Harlan-Gran, Kevin Pyon, and Elizabeth Sotelo. I have included the information about the panel and, below that, full abstracts from each speaker.
197. Twenty-First-Century Forms
Friday, January 6, 2023, 8:30–9:45 a.m. (PST)
If one might argue that the novel and lyric poem have become residual forms, what literary forms are emerging in contemporaneity? Panelists explore emergent literary forms of the twenty-first century and their relationship with, instantiation in, or remediation by other (digital) media: film, documentary, social media, publishing platforms, transmedia, autotheory, and other hybrid narrative and poetic forms.
